Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Texans robbed the room for Noel. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaylin Noel, No. 229, roughly 127 picks past where he belonged.

Reaching for Skattebo left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Emeka Egbuka and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in slot 63, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Nothing to complain about; Mason Taylor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Taking Donovan Jackson in pick No. 167 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
The board had cheaper options than JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 36, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
You do not let a wide receiver like Jaylin Noel reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at the 243rd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in slot 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
